3.2 Committee Discretion Binding. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan, shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any Subsidiary, any Participant, any Employee, and any designated beneficiary.

 

3.3 Delegation. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee may delegate to one or more officers or managers of the Company or any Subsidiary, or to a committee of such officers or managers, the authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee shall determine, to administer the Plan.

 

3.4 No Liability. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan.

 

 
 

 

Article 4. Shares Available for Awards.

 

4.1 Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the number of Shares which may be sold under the Plan shall not exceed 550,000 Shares. The Committee may specify the number of Shares to be offered in an Offering. In the event that any Shares offered in an Offering are not purchased, such unpurchased Shares may again be sold under the Plan.

 

4.2 Adjustments. In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee may, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, make such equitable adjustments in the Plan, and the then outstanding Offering, as it deems necessary and appropriate, including, but not limited to, changing the number of Shares reserved under the Plan and the price of the current Offering.

 

4.3 Source of Shares; No Fractional Shares. Shares which are to be delivered under the Plan may be obtained by the Company from its treasury, by purchases on the open market or from private sources, or by issuing authorized but unissued Shares. Any issuance of authorized but unissued Shares shall be approved by the board of directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof. Authorized but unissued Shares may not be delivered under the Plan if the purchase price thereof is less than the par value of the Shares. No fractional Shares may be purchased or issued under the Plan.

 

4.4 Oversubscription. If the number of Shares that Participants become entitled to purchase in an Offering is greater than the number of Shares offered in the Offering or remaining available, the available Shares shall be allocated by the Committee among such Participants in such manner as it deems fair and equitable.

 

Article 5. Eligibility. All Employees (including Employees who are directors) of the Company or of any Subsidiary will be eligible to participate in the Plan, in accordance with such rules as may be prescribed by the Committee from time to time; provided, however, that such rules shall neither permit nor deny participation in the Plan contrary to the requirements of the Code (including, but not limited to, Sections 423(b)(3), (4) and (5) of the Code). During an Offering Period, no Employee may participate under the Plan if such Employee would own five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an Employee, and Shares which the Employee would be permitted to purchase under the current Offering Period shall be treated as Shares owned by the Employee.

 

Article 6. Participation and Offerings.

 

6.1 Committee Authorization. The Committee may authorize one or more Offerings to Employees to purchase Shares under the Plan. The Committee may at any time suspend an Offering if required by law or if the Committee determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Company. Each Offering shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate and which shall comply with the requirements of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted rights to purchase Shares under the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering shall be incorporated by reference into the Plan.

 

6.2 Enrollment. An Employee may become a Participant with respect to an Offering by providing a form of enrollment (“Enrollment Form”) to the Company in accordance with applicable Plan procedures specified by the Committee. If an Employee elects to become a Participant for an Offering Period, he or she will remain a Participant for successive Offering Periods (subject to any subsequent withdrawal under Section 6.7 or Article 8) unless the Employee notifies the Company, in accordance with applicable Plan procedures specified by the Committee, prior to the Offering Date of such succeeding Offering that the Employee elects not to be a Participant with respect to such Offering.

 

 
 

 

6.3 Minimum and Maximum Payroll Deduction. A Participant’s Enrollment Form will authorize specified regular payroll deductions on each payroll date during the Offering Period. Subject to Section 6.4, payroll deductions for such purpose shall be in one percent (1%) increments of Compensation subject to a minimum deduction of one percent (1%) of Compensation per pay period and a maximum deduction of ten percent (10%) of Compensation per pay period or such other maximum percentage as specified by the Committee in the Offering. The payroll deduction percentage of a Participant with respect to an Offering if the Participant automatically becomes a Participant in the Offering as provided in Section 6.2 will be the percentage in effect for the last pay period of the immediately preceding Offering, subject to Section 6.6.

 

6.4 $25,000 Maximum. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no Employee may purchase Shares under this Plan and any other qualified employee stock purchase plan (within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or its Subsidiaries at a rate which exceeds Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) of Fair Market Value of Shares for each calendar year in which a purchase is executed. For purposes of this Section, Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the Offering Date of the applicable Offering.

 

6.5 Participant Accounts. The Company and Participating Subsidiaries will establish Participant Accounts to which will be credited the payroll deductions authorized pursuant to Section 6.3. No interest shall be earned by or credited to any Account. All payroll deduction amounts credited to a Participant’s account under the Plan will be deposited with the general funds of the Company and may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deduction amounts.

 

6.6 Payroll Deduction Changes. A Participant may, by written notice at any time during the Offering Period, direct the Company or the Subsidiary to reduce or increase payroll deductions, subject to a maximum of one change per Offering Period or such other number of changes as determined by the Committee with respect to an Offering in compliance with Section 423(b)(5) of the Code. Subject to other procedures established by the Committee, any such change (including a change to be effective for the immediately succeeding offering period) shall be made on a new Enrollment Form with the Company not less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such change.

 

6.7 Participant Withdrawals; Suspensions. A Participant may, no later than 15 days prior to a Purchase Date with respect to an Offering, elect to withdraw all of the amount credited to his or her Account, or a portion of the amount credited to his or her Account to the extent authorized by the Committee with respect to an Offering in compliance with Section 423(b)(5) of the Code. Any withdrawal of the entire amount credited to a Participant’s Account with respect to an Offering will terminate such Participant’s participation in the Offering. If a Participant is also a participant in a 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary and receives a hardship distribution under such 401(k) plan, the Participant’s payroll deductions under this Plan shall be suspended for a period of six (6) months from the date of the hardship distribution.

 

6.8 Purchase. As of each Purchase Date, the Account of each Participant shall be totaled. If a Participant’s Account contains sufficient funds to purchase one or more Shares as of that date, the Participant shall be deemed to have purchased the largest number of Shares that can be purchased by the amount credited to the Participant’s Account at the price determined under Article 7 below. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the maximum number of Shares that a Participant may purchase in an Offering shall be $25,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Offering Date. A Participant’s Account will be charged, on the Purchase Date, for the amount of the purchase, and for all purposes under the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed to have purchased the Shares on that date. As promptly as possible after the Purchase Date, the Company shall transfer (including, but not limited to, a transfer by electronic transaction) the Shares so purchased to a brokerage account with a broker or administrator designated or approved by the Company to be held on behalf of the Participant (or the Participant and a joint owner as designated by the Participant in accordance with applicable law). Shares purchased after [September 1, 2020] shall be held by the Participant in the brokerage account with a broker or administrator designated or approved by the Company for a minimum of twelve (12) months following the Purchase Date or, if earlier, until the Participant terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company may in its discretion issue Shares in certificate or book entry form. Upon the death of a Participant, Shares in the Participant’s Account that do not pass to a joint owner in accordance with applicable law will be distributed to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate.

 

 
 

 

6.9 Insufficient Payroll Deduction. If for any reason a Participant’s Compensation is insufficient to cover a payroll deduction on a particular payroll date, then no payroll deduction will be made on that date. The payroll deduction in effect for the Participant will resume on the next payroll date as of which the Participant’s Compensation is sufficient to cover such payroll deduction, but the payroll deduction or deductions missed under the preceding sentence will not be deducted on any future payroll date.

 

6.10 Account Balance after Purchase. Any amount remaining in a Participant’s Account after the Purchase Date of an Offering shall be held in the Participant’s Account for the purchase of Shares in the next Offering subject to the Participant’s withdrawal of such amount under Section 6.7.

 

Article 7. Purchase Price. The purchase price of a Share on a Purchase Date with respect to an Offering shall be designated by the Committee in the Offering and shall not be less than the lesser of: (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Offering Date, or (b) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Purchase Date of the applicable Offering Period.

 

Article 8. Termination of Employment. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s Account during the Offering Period, but not yet used, shall be returned to the Participant in cash or, in the case of his or her death, shall be paid in cash to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or estate.

 

Article 9. Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s Account nor any rights with regard to the purchase of Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, laws of descent and distribution, or beneficiary designation) by a Participant, and during a Participant’s lifetime any rights granted to the Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable only by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect, and the Company will treat such act as an election to withdraw Participant’s entire Account in accordance with Section 6.7.

 

Article 10. Corporate Transactions. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving or acquiring corporation may continue or assume the rights to purchase Shares outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar rights for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation does not continue or assume such rights to purchase Shares or does not substitute similar rights for rights to purchase Shares outstanding under the Plan, then, in the discretion of the Committee, the Participants’ Accounts may be either paid in cash or used to purchase Shares under the Offering within five (5) days prior to the Corporate Transaction.

 

Article 11. General Provisions.

 

11.1 Amendments. The Committee may, from time to time, amend or discontinue the Plan; provided, however, that approval of the shareholders shall be sought to the extent required for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code or other applicable laws or regulations.

 

11.2 No Right to Employment. A Participant’s right to purchase Shares under the Plan shall not be construed as giving such Participant the right to be retained in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary. Further, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan.

 

11.3 No Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any purchase shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the Plan until such Shares have been purchased pursuant to Section 6.8.

 

11.4 Obligatory Status. Participation in the Plan shall impose no obligation upon a Participant to purchase any Shares under the Plan.

 

11.5 Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to purchases under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

 
 

 

11.6 Severability. If any provision of the Plan becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person, or would disqualify the Plan or any purchase under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or person, and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.

 

11.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

 

11.8 Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares might violate any applicable law or regulation (including applicable non-U.S. laws or regulations) or entitle the Company to recover any amounts under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the purchase of such Shares shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Plan provision shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal or non-U.S. securities laws and any other laws to which such offer, if made, would be subject.

 

11.9 Shareholder Approval. This Plan shall not be effective until approved by the shareholders of the Company as provided in Section 423(b)(2) of the Code.

 

11.10 Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.
